Winter arrives in Riga

As the snow falls outside our window in large white flakes, it appears that a proper Latvian winter has finally arrived in Riga. This, of course, means that it’s time to don furry hats and heavy boots to take advantage of the chilly environment outside. The city has its fair share of ice skating rinks and even cross country tracks for skiing enthusiasts, but more intrepid sportsmen can take a trip out to the countryside and experience one of Latvia’s small winter resorts. But one of the best places to enjoy the snow and ice is right across the river on the Left Bank known as Pārdaugava. Whatever your interests, Riga In Your Pocket has it covered this February and March.
